Sweden's military intelligence agency has released an analysis of Russia's economic problems, finding that Moscow's prioritization of its defense industry is causing significant harm to civilian sectors of the economy. The assessment aligns with ongoing analysis from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), which has tracked similar trends. The report also notes that Russia's high battlefield losses in Ukraine are having measurable impacts on the country's overall economic health. This comes as Russia continues to sustain a war economy while facing international sanctions and military attrition.
